At Gochef we believe that by Buying local You'll get exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen your local economy, support endangered family farms, safeguard your family's health, and protect the environment.

Go local... 10 ways how:

1. Subscribe to an organic veg box scheme. Boxes full of seasonal, freshly picked produce are delivered straight to your door or to a central drop-off point (a great way to meet organic neighbours).
2. Visit the Organic Directory for information on organic box schemes and local food resources.
3. Discover your nearest organic farm.
4. Check out your nearest farmers' market for delicious fresh food, many organic, direct from the farm. Visit www.farmersmarkets.net for more information.
5. Go to your nearest city farm. Contact the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens which promotes healthy organic food.
6. Grow your own allotment. Call your local council for information or contact the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners for a fact sheet on how to get started.
7. Get the low-down on community supported agriculture (CSA). Visit www.cuco.org.uk for loads of resources including our online action manual.
8. Find out about other local food links, like the Women's Institute country markets, community composting, LETS (local exchange and trading systems) and community orchards. Buy a copy of the Soil Association Local Food for Local People.
9. Shop locally and support your local specialist shops. The extra pennies you spend are a vote for the quality of life.
10. Cook a local meal once a week. Ask your grandmother/neighbour for a local traditional recipe and invite friends round to try it. Otherwise you could always visit us for a meal.
